[QUOTE="Matheos, post: 3046082, member: 8607"] I have sat quietly all weekend, predominantly in the fetal position, waiting for the pure frustration and anger to subside before posting my thoughts. Before round 13 I was definitely one of the members firmly in the "we have turned a corner" basket and was adamant we were going to finish in the top 6. Our defence was spot on for two consecutive weeks, the attitude was terrific against the Roosters and what easily could've been a let down spot, we showed up and were gritty in Auckland. What ever has happened after the bye has been abysmal and all of the same issues identified earlier in the season back and flourishing. 1. The balance in the team is all wrong. We have so much talent and ability but everyone is all around the same steps in their careers. Brilliance mixed in with poor attitude and errors. Rookie half, rookie hooker, rookie centres, inexperienced middle forwards, no fullback. Every side needs a mix of youth with hardened NRL players who are consistent week-to-week. How we have 5 origin players and look so ordinary is dead set beyond me... 2. To reiterate the sentiments of many, Darius Boyd a cancer for this team at fullback. You don't actually appreciate how much it is hurting us until you watch any other game. MOVE HIM IMMEDIATELY. Personally, given the issues with lack of experience and leadership in the squad, I would keep him in the starting side at centre. 3. Turpin and Segeyaro need to play every remaining game in 2019 if fit. Macca needs to be tapped on the shoulder and put in reserve grade once and for all. 4. Where is our line speed and defensive pressure? Parra scored two tries where their bodies were at the line practically before any contact was made. Absolutely criminal. 5. Our attacking structure is a complete mess. Given our lack of strike on the edges, the whole team should be geared at attacking the opposition through the middle. We should be having multiple support runners around the ruck, getting quick play the balls and challenging the opposition forwards with change of direction, offloads and hard running. We are one-out all the way to 4th tackle and struggle for metres as a result. 16 offloads we had against Parra and we were tackled within 2m of the player that offloaded it 12 times. 2019 is done. We need to look to 2020 and make some genuine changes coming out of the bye. Seibold, show us how big your balls are or risk the fanbase turning against you. We are the Broncos. We do not accept mediocrity. This club is set-up in every possible way to avoid sugar-coated "re-building" years. Yet we somehow find ourselves in one despite being a $5.50 second favourite...yes second favourite to win the premiership before round 1. I need a scotch. Is it 12pm yet? [/QUOTE]
